Looking for some advice on the ET-1000. I think Heath trainers were
discussed here not too long ago. I have an opportunity to buy one
locally for what I think is a fair price. While it would be nice to
own as a relic, I'd like to actually use it as well (I intend to begin
an electronics curriculum in the Fall.) It seems to have the features
I'd need, and I'm assured it's working properly, but is too vintage to
use regularly? Would I be better off just going with some Rat Shack
kit?
Thanks to all

Jason,
Can't go wrong with Heathkit trainers for learning. There stuff is timeless.
If you are looking for just Electronics stuff I would also recommend the
ET-3100. If you want to learn more about microprocessors and programming
look for an ET-3400 which uses the Motorola 6800 8 bit micro. If you just
want an ET-3400 software emulator ( free ) contact me offline. Good luck.
Best regards, Steven

Well I went ahead and got the HT-1000 and it's great. A very solid
machine. Those other models look like the next step. Thanks for
mentioning the existence of the trainer, I found it myself :)
